Assistant Professor in Environmental Geochemistry of the Anthropocene
Review of applications begins October 15, 2019
The Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences (EOAS) at the University of British Columbia invites applicants for a full-time, tenure-track Assistant Professor in Environmental Geochemistry of the Anthropocene. We seek an innovative researcher investigating geochemical processes in human impacted and/or managed environments, working to understand the response of natural geochemical cycles to anthropogenic influences. Candidates should hold a PhD in a related field, and be interested in addressing fundamental geochemical research questions relevant to environmental problems. All aspects of anthropocene geochemistry are of interest: the distribution and pathways of metals in the environment, transport and accumulation mechanisms of pollutants, geochemical 'fingerprinting' of natural and anthropogenic pollutant levels, sources and sinks, and geochemical processes essential to ecosystem services.
